Hi Matt!

Checked out the link and the kilt is really awesome.
Great work :grin:. I also agree with the heavier weight clothe.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. And Matt, you must have read my mind on the red stripe.

I'm not sure though about the box pleat. For a first attempt is a knife pleat easier than a box pleat?

The kilt looks awesome though.

Sure a knife pleat is easier -- but the box pleat is more traditional for a four yard kilt, and you'll end up with a better look that way. Four yard knife pleated kilts are ok -- you could always go back in and make them box pleats later. But it's not that much more difficult and well worth the extra effort in my opinion.
